I don&#39;t know if you heard much of the Ballister record from last year--but it&#39;s got plenty of rocking moments as well (thanks in large part to Nilssen-Love&#39;s amazing drumming). I would characterize it as more of a &quot;pure&quot; free-jazz record than this one. But it&#39;s really outstanding, IMO.Troy Dostertnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4155637663191071619.post-41624168900520465432013-01-10T20:07:10.883+01:002013-01-10T20:07:10.883+01:00I am willing to let my hair down and rock out with...I am willing to let my hair down and rock out with them - one of my favorite trios in free jazz. I really like this music in the twilight zone between rock and free jazz and the three of them are masters of this &quot;genre&quot;. As usual a really nice, thoughtful and well-written review, Troy.Martin Schrayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03279405008289921361noreply@blogger.com
